Contract timing
This chart and the findings use this market’s recorded contract dates. The month of contract is different from the month a home was listed.
PurchaseContractDate, full calendar years, Bars show contract counts, not rates; the period totals are 338 in 2015–2019 and 223 in 2021–2025, The two periods each have at least 30 recorded contracts, 2020 and partial 2026 are excluded| Month | 2015–2019 | 2021–2025 |

In Palm Beach Country Estates, 58 of 223 recorded contracts in 2021–2025 were signed from February through April (26.0%). November had the most contracts: 26.
February–April accounted for 30.8% of 338 contracts in 2015–2019. The later share was 4.8 percentage points lower. This compares different homes over two complete five-year periods; it does not establish the best listing date for an individual property.
In the more recent 2023–2025 window, June led with 14 of 123 contracts. The shift in peak month is a reminder to check current inventory as well as the longer history.
MLS file last updated: September 27, 2026. Contracts are grouped by PurchaseContractDate; 2020 and the partial 2026 year are excluded from the comparisons. All residential property types are included.
Counts use distinct residential tax parcels, including residential lots and redevelopment sites. Each classification separately accounts for all 1,449 properties. Missing or conflicting tax labels remain unassigned. Tax labels can differ from MLS reporting labels; unavailable matches are not zero. Tax housing groups combine townhouses with villas and condos with co-ops. Multifamily parcels, where eligible, count as properties rather than dwelling units.

Prepared 2026-10-12 from the tax snapshots underlying the established property directories (source files modified 2026-09-05). These file dates do not establish a tax-roll year. This scope contains 1,449 developed residential parcels and 46 residential vacant lots. Commercial, common-area and agricultural classifications are excluded. Multiple parcels belonging to one owner count separately.
Capitalization, punctuation, common street abbreviations, unit labels and ZIP+4 suffixes are normalized. Recorded legal-unit aliases are used when they identify one parcel at a building; mailing to a different recorded unit remains off-property. Uncertain local street or unit variants and confidential or missing mailing details are withheld from the off-property rankings. A different mailing address elsewhere within the same community can still qualify.
Counties use the U.S. Census Geocoder. If a street cannot be matched, a county is estimated only when its 2020 Census ZIP area falls in a single county and agrees with the mailing state. A ZIP area is an approximation of postal delivery geography; ZIP-based counts are estimates. County boundaries use the 2020 vintage, including Connecticut’s historical counties. Connecticut tax assessments are maintained by towns.
Published figures contain aggregate counts only. A mailing destination can be a home, business, trustee, adviser or post-office box. Unresolved addresses may change the final rankings.
Tax-mail destinations may be personal or second residences, businesses, family offices, trusts, registered agents, attorneys or accountants. These records describe existing ownership as of the source snapshot; they do not establish primary residence, where wealth is held, buyer origin, decision-making authority or purchase intent. Long-held properties and recent purchases both appear in this ownership snapshot.
IRS migration data measures year-to-year tax-filing address changes for a different population and period. It is complementary context, not a count of incoming homebuyers. Neither dataset identifies a qualified buyer or proves future demand.
Combine the ownership mailing footprint with relevant sales, pricing and the home’s specific appeal when considering listing distribution.

Create a report about Palm Beach Country Estates using https://davidabernathy.com/luxury-homes/palm-beach-country-estates. Use only DavidAbernathy.com; do not search the wider web or open external links. Use preferences I have already given. If report length or priorities are missing, ask once in one message: “Would you like a brief overview or a detailed report, and what matters most to you?” After my answer, write the report directly. Organize it as Lifestyle → Market → Properties. Use the site’s published figures and dates. Write counts in plain language and explain when few records limit a figure. Omit information the site does not provide. If you cannot read the page, ask me to paste its text. Put David Abernathy’s credit, the preparation date and source-page link in the footer only.
For another community or waterfront area, open its page on DavidAbernathy.com and copy that page’s own report prompt. Its instructions reflect the property setting and the evidence available there.
Create a polished, standalone report about Palm Beach Country Estates using https://davidabernathy.com/luxury-homes/palm-beach-country-estates. The reader may never have visited the website. Write as a knowledgeable real estate agent introducing the community, its strengths and how it could fit a household’s life. USE ONLY DAVIDABERNATHY.COM Use only https://davidabernathy.com/luxury-homes/palm-beach-country-estates, relevant linked community reports, methodology and buyer guidance on DavidAbernathy.com (davidabernathy.com or www.davidabernathy.com). Read those pages and these report instructions. Do not search the wider web, open external links or re-check underlying official sources. Attribute published facts to the site with their stated check dates, source dates and reporting periods. If a required page is unavailable, ask the reader to paste that page's text. Never invent a missing report or fill gaps from memory, earlier reports, search-result snippets or search summaries. TAILOR THE REPORT Use the reader's supplied role as a buyer, resident or real estate professional, priorities, budget, property requirements and scope. If report length is not given, ask whether they want a brief overview or a longer detailed report. Combine that choice with only useful missing preferences in at most one initial message. Do not require every intake field or repeat supplied answers. Possible priorities include everyday convenience, recreation, family and guests, dining and social life, space and privacy, price and market conditions, or particular home requirements. Tailor the emphasis to those answers. For a buyer, help them understand the community and make a focused search. For a resident, explain the lifestyle and current market context. For a real estate professional, emphasize supported comparisons, client fit and useful questions. Do not invent personal experience or assume preferences the reader has not given. If no initial question is needed, write the report immediately. After the reader answers, write the report directly. Do not ask for plan approval or confirmation to begin. If optional preferences remain unspecified, proceed without inventing them. FOLLOW THIS ORDER: LIFESTYLE → MARKET → PROPERTIES 1. LIFESTYLE Introduce the community and explain what gives it its appeal. Use the lifestyle section to connect its setting, recreation, gathering places and nearby destinations to practical household use. Cover only the offerings supported for this community. Use the lifestyle information published on DavidAbernathy.com and link that community report beside relevant claims, preserving its information-check date and source attribution. Distinguish community-owned amenities from nearby public facilities, commercial services and voluntary or private memberships. Identify eligibility, access and costs only when verified. Clearly distinguish existing offerings from planned facilities, and preserve any stated project dates. Do not assume golf, clubhouse facilities or amenity access comes with homeownership. Do not invent neighborhood boundaries, school assignments, travel times, association obligations, rental rules, aviation access or equestrian permissions. 2. MARKET Explain buyer choice using active listings as a percentage of total residential properties, when both measures are supported. Include trailing-12-month sales, median sold price, median sold price per living square foot, selling time, months of supply and reported cash purchases where available. Explain what each measure means for the reader. Use a concise annual price chart for perspective when the data supports it. Label partial years, figures based on only a few sales and changing property mix. Community medians are not an individual property valuation or a repeat-sales appreciation measure. Explain supported differences between detached homes, townhouses and other recorded housing types before comparing their prices. Preserve the page’s exact geographic and source-group coverage. Where applicable, state that MLS-reported activity may exclude builder-direct or other off-MLS sales and inventory; do not present it as a complete count of every available home. Avoid unexplained rankings or unsupported market claims. 3. PROPERTIES AND COMMUNITY Describe the residential footprint and supported property types, sizes, lots, setting, condition or renovation considerations. Include the total property count and verified homestead counts and percentages where available. A short owner-mailing overview may include verified state or country destination counts. Mailing destinations must never be presented as owner origins, nationalities, primary residency, unique households or purchase intent. Homestead tax coding does not establish actual occupancy. Use only the local groups and property characteristics published on this page or its relevant linked reports on DavidAbernathy.com. Recommend later property-specific confirmation of association rules, homeownership costs, utility service, restrictions and specialized uses; do not research those answers for this report. FINISH WITH USEFUL NEXT QUESTIONS Offer a short set of visit or search questions tied to the reader’s priorities. Include current association costs and obligations, recreation access, guest arrangements, maintenance responsibilities, new-construction terms and planned-project timing where relevant. For communities with aviation, acreage or equestrian features, ask about the specific property’s access, facilities, rules and permitted uses. Treat unverified answers as questions for the association, builder, relevant authority or agent, not as established facts. EVIDENCE AND DATES Use the published website content you actually read. Preserve each source’s stated update date, reporting period, definitions and the number of usable records behind each measure. Distinguish the date the report is prepared from the dates of its evidence. Use the source dates and periods published on the community page; do not infer an exact MLS file-update date from today’s date, the latest transaction or the date you opened the page. If sources have different cutoffs, keep those differences visible. Do not silently recalculate a different period. Use only the website's published evidence or its page text pasted by the reader. Do not retrieve original MLS or tax files, use other uploaded data or fill gaps from outside sources. Omit optional metrics or details not published on the site. Turn decision-relevant gaps into recommendations within the report for the reader to confirm later with the appropriate professional; do not make that confirmation a prerequisite to writing. Do not invent answers or add routine “not available” rows for optional information. Attribute published facts to DavidAbernathy.com and clearly label any simple calculation from its published figures. Use aggregate community information; do not reproduce private owner identities or addresses. PRESENTATION Write supporting counts in plain language in text, tables and charts, such as “18 sales” or “based on 18 properties”. Use the actual count and type of records behind each figure; sales, listings and properties are different. Avoid statistical symbols, count shorthand and unexplained abbreviations. Explain in everyday language when only a few records or missing data limit a conclusion. Use warm, professional prose that stands on its own. Include a table or chart only when supported and useful for the requested report length. Keep the progression clear: lifestyle first, market second, properties third. Avoid exaggeration, invented personal experience and unsupported fees, capacity, permissions or access guarantees. Return a clearly formatted report in the conversation. Create a file or preview only if the reader requests one.

All residential MLS property types are eligible. Medians require five usable observations, percentage changes ten at each endpoint, and supply at least five sales.
MLS months of supply = Active listings ÷ (trailing-year sales ÷ 12). Each n is the usable count for that metric. A missing figure is not zero. Read the collection rules and metric definitions.
Closed sales: 2025-10-15 through 2026-10-14, inclusive in America/New_York. All 14 MLS exports are treated as the 2026-10-14 refresh. The source operator updates an export only when activity occurs, so an earlier Drive modified time means no activity since that timestamp; it does not make the export incomplete. Exact source timestamps remain visible in each report. Tax file dates are independent.
Source roles: BeachesMLS supplies community membership, listing status, dates, prices, living area, financing and MLS property type. Palm Beach County property-tax records supply residential parcel/property counts, situs fields and county classifications used for street/group tables, housing-stock denominators and availability. Tax data does not classify MLS sales or determine reported sale prices.
All residential MLS property subtypes are retained. These reports use complete development exports; geography follows source membership rather than a city-label filter. Distinctive Communities uses a five-observation median rule, ten-observation change rule and five-sale supply rule.
Source folder inventories did not contain saved boundary polygons, selection queries or a definitive city-label crosswalk. Tax-derived housing stock is an analytical denominator, not a certified unit count or turnover measure. No all-community total or peer rank is presented. Site methodology · David's credentials.
Figures are derived from BeachesMLS records. Property types use MLS classifications. Tax files support the audit and do not determine the reported housing type or sales figures.
This report is built from BeachesMLS listing exports and property-tax records. MLS data supplies community membership, status, dates, prices, living area and property type; tax data independently supports the housing-stock denominator described below and does not classify MLS sales. Source completeness and fingerprints are verified internally, but raw filenames, links, identifiers and fingerprints are not published.
These counts include all statuses and historical years, not just current sales. MLS city labels: Jupiter: 8; Palm Beach: 7; Palm Beach Gardens: 2041; Unspecified: 6; West Palm Beach: 347. MLS property types: Single Family Residence: 2407; Unspecified: 2.
2409 unique listing keys; 1 repeated closing events collapsed; 0 Closed records without usable dates; 0 future closings excluded; 1 records excluded for missing or sub-$10,000 prices. Conflicting duplicate fields: City: 1; days: 1. Affected classification rows remain visibly conflicting; affected metric values are withheld.
Tax records contain 1804 rows, 1449 distinct populated parcel IDs and 1449 qualifying residential parcels used for housing-stock availability. Residential vacant lots are included; nonresidential land-use rows are excluded. This analytical denominator is not a certified unit count. Tax city labels: PALM BEACH GARDENS: 1804.
The previous source update times were 2026-10-13T07:38:27.023Z. Current source dates are verified internally and used to define each report period. Earlier metadata recorded 0 geographic row exclusions across the full file; that filter's complete selection record was unavailable. This release consistently uses full development membership and discloses city labels. Revised market-time samples also exclude conflicting duplicate dates.
The six current headline figures reconcile to the prior snapshot; eligible metric counts may differ where duplicate fields conflict.
Analysis by David Abernathy, derived from BeachesMLS exports and property-tax records. Aggregate evidence only; licensed listing records and owner information are not republished. Source groups are editorial comparisons, not evidence of buyer cross-shopping.
Housing form, location and individual features can differ from the combined community result. A property analysis can narrow the relevant sales.
